Crassus is noted for its abundance of natural mineral deposits, including gold iridium and titanium. Though the mineral fields are not as extensive as those found on other worlds, Crassian ores lie near the planet's surface, are easy to extract, and thus more profitable. The local Human inhabitants on Crassus do not mine their ores, but lease mining rights to offworld speculators and prospectors. Local Crassian industry centers around processing and extracting ores. Not surprisingly, the Confederation's Bureau of Mining is located on Crassus. Starfleet maintains a small in-system defense post as well as a small repair facility in orbit around the planet. |
